Kodex has released its first-ever true crime documentary, telling the story of an international scam so extraordinary that AJ Iafrate believes it could fill an entire Netflix series. In this preview, AJ and John explain why the case immediately stood out, how victims were identified across the United States, Canada, the UK and Sweden, and why the investigation became such a powerful example of what can happen when law enforcement and private companies work together.

At the centre of the story is the speed at which investigators were able to access vital information. Instead of sending legal requests into a “black hole” and waiting months for a response, a working relationship facilitated through Kodex allowed Coinbase to begin responding to relevant subpoenas in around 45 minutes. That speed helped investigators maintain momentum, follow the evidence and stop criminals who may otherwise have continued targeting victims around the world.
